Wildlife Tourism

In any nation, wildlife tourism is the main element, acting as a travel industry partner and interaction between the plant and animal life in a natural environment. Wildlife is the combination of biodiversity; it helps in the health of people as well as the welfare of the entire world.  It is the combination of environment and animal-friendly tourism, hunting safari, and alike high-interference events also fall under the canopy of wildlife tourism. It is the simplest place where animals interact with their natural habitat. Wildlife tourism is done in two ways as active way and the passive way. The active way includes the hunting and collection of animals, while the passive way includes the watching and photography of wild animals. Wildlife tourism aids in the rapid and dramatic growth of many countries such as Africa, Australia, India, Canada, Malaysia, Srilanka, and the Maldives many more. Wildlife tourism is closely linked to sustainable tourism and eco-tourism. According to United Nations World Tourism Organization, world tourism, leads to annual growth of 3 to 7% totally from wildlife tourism. The wildlife is an integral part of the ecosystem and it acts as an inter-related and interdependent way for the survival of the animals. The balance of nature is maintained by the wildlife. The Tourism of wildlife animals is done in many ways for example.  National parks, Safari, and, Game reserves are established for the tourism of wildlife animals. The national park is a relatively large area, where the natural environment of animals is not altered by the human occupation, all the species of plants and animals are lived in the specific geographical site and many visits these national parks on an hourly basis so it will increase the income of the country by the wildlife tourism. Shooting and hunting are not allowed in national parks, they are only accessible to the public for recreational, educational, and research purposes.  Safari parks are in which animals lived in their natural habitat and the visitor sees the animals by moving in the cars, animals walk aside from the cars, and the visitor takes photography of them and enjoyed it. The Game reserves are the place where hunting and shooting are allowed only to the visitor having a special permit. This permit specifies the number of animals or birds killed or tapped by the visitors and also specifies the duration and area in which hunting is allowed.  So wildlife Tourism is the core part of any country to increase its annual growth.
